Clean sheets

4.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 30.4, James-Wildin carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One of 64 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
